What should I spend my money on?

I realise that this may cause some religious debates but...
I have £250 to spend on "upgrading" my Road Cycling experience. The question is "What should I spend it on?". ;-)
As background, my current bike is a Specialized Tarmac with a mixture of 10spd 105 and Ultegra. I have XeroLite Xr-1 wheels.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

£250? I'd spend it on race entries, TT entries etc. Far more improvment per £ than any equipment. If you had said £500 then I'd have said get a coach.Norfolk, who nicked all the hills?

Are you racing?
If so that money will go straight away on entries, nutrition, etc.
If not then head somewhere nice to ride for a week. Much better value than carbon components...Summer - Colnago C40
Race - Wilier Alpe D'Huez
Winter/Commuter - Specialized Tricross0 -
Spend it on me.Life is like a roll of toilet paper; long and useful, but always ends at the wrong moment. Anon.

+1 for a garmin edge 500 if you don't already have one.
Seeing exactly what your heart is doing, cadence and the ability to have a look at elevation data and your route is a worthwhile investment. Plus the multiple other functions not mentioned. It's by far my favourite 'accessory'.0 -
replace your 105 stuff0

Best answer I've ever heard on this forum. Get out and race. That's where the real deal is at. Not in some showoffy, blingy, overly expensive bike parts. The fun and challenge
is in the competition and comradeship with fellow riders.0 -
Cake, pies and tea are the perfect upgrades to my cycling excursions.I'm at that difficult age... somewhere between birth and death.0
